Recipe Specifications

Boil Size: 6.71 gal
Post Boil Volume: 5.46 gal
Batch Size (fermenter): 5.00 gal
Bottling Volume: 4.86 gal
Estimated OG: 1.054 SG
Estimated Color: 20.6 SRM
Estimated IBU: 24.4 IBUs
Brewhouse Efficiency: 72.00 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
8 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) 81.0 %
12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) 7.1 %
8.0 oz Wheat, Torrified (1.7 SRM) 4.8 %
4.0 oz Brown Malt (65.0 SRM) 2.4 %
4.0 oz Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) 2.4 %
4.0 oz Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM) 2.4 %
0.50 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 60.0 min 10.6 IBUs
0.50 oz Mt. Hood [6.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min 11.6 IBUs
0.50 oz Willamette [5.50 %] - Boil 5.0 min 2.1 IBUs
1.0 pkg Ringwood Ale (Wyeast Labs #1187)
My efficiency was down a bit for some reason (69% vs 72% predicted) so I missed my OG by a bit 1.049 vs 1.054 estimated. However, I think this will actually put me closer to the 4.3% of Pig's Ear.
I took a guess at the hop schedule. I read an article somewhere (BYO maybe?) that talked about mixing Mt Hood and Cascade for bittering in Brown ales, so I figured I would give it a shot.
I'll let you know how it turns out!
